It will continue to decay as it moves into the much cooler sea temperatures of the Yellow Sea tomorrow. Below are the summary of the 2-day forecast for MEARI (FALCON).

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 85 km/hr (45 knots) with higher gusts. MEARI (FALCON) is a Tropical Storm (STS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale. Further weakening on this system is expected today. Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-100 km/hr) extend outward up to 270 kilometers (145 nautical miles) from the center. MEARI is a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 1,130 kilometers (610 nautical miles) across.

Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.

EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY

MEARI's (FALCON) very large circulation continues to dominate the Yellow, East China & Japan Seas and the Korean Peninsula including Northern China. Below are the summary of the storm's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas:

INNER RAINBANDS (with a developing CDO) - spreading and affecting the South Yellow Sea, Cheju Island and the west coast of South and North Korea. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-100 kph) can be expected along these bands.
OUTER RAINBANDS - spreading and affecting portions of Northern China, North & South Korea, Sea of Japan, East China Sea and the main Japanese Islands of Kyushu and Westernmost Honshu.. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands).
12-18HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 75 mm (low to medium rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 130 mm (medium-high) near the center of MEARI (FALCON). (click to open NOAA's eTRaP graphic).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:

REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) SUN 26 JUNE POSITION: 32.1N 124.7E.
*TROPICAL STORM 07W (MEARI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 125 NM SOUTHWEST
OF CHEJU ISLAND, SOUTH KOREA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWARD AT 21 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS THAT
THE SYSTEM HAS AN EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) WITH A
SMALL AMOUNT OF DEEP CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH OF THE LLCC AND THE
REMAINDER OF THE CONVECTION BECOMING VERY SHALLOW. OVER THE LAST 36
HOURS TS 07W HAS EXPERIENCED THE CAPTURE AND ABSORPTION OF A
MIDLEVEL CIRCULATION. THIS PROCESS RESULTED IN ERRATIC MOTION BY 07W
ALONG WITH DIFFICULTY IN IDENTIFYING THE MAIN CIRCULATION CENTER. RE-
ANALYSIS OF IMAGERY OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS SHOWS THAT THE SYSTEM
SLOWED GREATLY NEAR 24/18Z AS THE SECONDARY CIRCULATION WAS TO THE
SOUTH OF THE LLCC. THEN AS THE SECONDARY CIRCULATION MOVED TO THE
EAST OF THE LLCC AND FINALLY BECAME ABSORBED AFTER 25/12Z, 07W
ACCELERATED AND MOVED TO THE EAST OF THE PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED
TRACK. A 251324Z 25KM ASCAT PASS SHOWS BOTH CIRCULATIONS RESOLVED BY
THE SENSOR AND ONLY 30NM APART. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE
SYSTEM HAS CROSSED INTO UNFAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES,
UNFAVORABLE VERTICAL WINDSHEAR, AND IS NEAR AN UPPER LEVEL LOW TO
THE NORTHWEST THAT IS CAUSING SUBSIDENCE IN THE REGION. POSITION IS
BASED ON THE PGTW FIX, INTENSITY IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED
ASCAT PASS SHOWING 45KTS OF WIND ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE
CIRCULATION. NUMERICAL MODEL AGREEMENT REMAINS EXCELLENT AND
UNCHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. NOW THAT THE SECONDARY
CIRCULATION APPEARS TO BE FULLY ABSORBED, TS 07W IS EXPECTED TO
REGAIN A MORE NORTHERLY TRACK AS ORIGINALLY FORECASTED...(
